Default Microsoft and QUALCOMM to Revolutionize the Next Generation Smartphones
http://www.qualcomm.com/press/releases/2006/060504_microsoft_revolutionize_next.html

"QUALCOMM Incorporated and Microsoft Corp. today jointly announced a collaboration to enable the porting of the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system to QUALCOMM�s Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipsets. The result of the companies� collaboration will enable device manufacturers to develop affordable, feature-rich and attractive Windows Mobile-powered phones with MSM chipsets while shortening their product development times. Support for the Windows Mobile platform on QUALCOMM�s highly integrated MSM solutions also gives users extended battery life while running a wide variety of business and entertainment applications, such as Microsoft Office Mobile and Windows Media� Player Mobile, along with third-party offerings."

Great news from Microsoft and Qualcomm today. The net result of this should be a reduced time frame for getting handsets to the market because manufacturers can reduce their development work required. The MSM chipset takes care of CDMA2000 1XEV-DO and UMTS features along with hardware accelerated multimedia, multi-megapixel camera support, 3D graphics and Assisted GPS engine. Qualcomm is expected to have this available along with support for Windows Mobile 5 in the second half of 2006. Hopefully, that means we should see handsets with this by the end of the year.
